I have, after a gap of many months started using TreeDraw Legacy again. I am in the middle of a large complicated chart which I want to save before losing anything but I am unable to save it. Every time I get the message: Make space on your disk or save to a different disk/folder. I am unable to save to a different folder, so please advise urgently! I daren't turn off the computer until I have saved the chart.

That appears to be a system message rather than application specific, generated because there is not enough space on the disk drive which is the target of the save.

If there is no other hard drive available then you could try saving to a USB memory stick (depending on how large the chart file is). The file could then be transferred to the hard drive later, after sufficient space has been made available.

Well, I did try to save to my spare 4GB hard drive which I use as a backup but had the same message.

Unfortunately I lost the chart in the end so will have to start again but I do have a pdf copy of the unfinished product as I can save as pdf without any problems.

No the chart isn't very large - just about 2 dozen people - but I was constructing it from both ancestor and descendant imports to make an extended hour glass chart. I'll try again from scratch and see what happens, unless you have any further thoughts.

This is actually an error message generated by TreeDraw when an error occurs during a file save. The first part of the message will give you the real reason why the file could not be saved ("The current chart could not be saved as xxxx for the reason given above"). The most common causes are lack of disk space or insufficient permission to access a drive/folder.

Thankfully this didn't happen in my next attempt but I think the problem may have been because another program (Thunderbird) had jammed on closing and I should have restarted to sort that out before embarking on the chart.

I'm trying to save a modest sized chart, and am getting this problem. My drive seems to have space, but in your reply you mention "insufficient permission to access a drive/folder". What does this mean?, and what can be done to fix it?.
